Tiramisu Cupcakes (super easy)

Have you ever imagined eating tiramisu in the shape of a cupcake? If so, your dream has come true. These super easy, delicious cupcakes combine a fluffy coffee sponge cake with creamy mascarpone icing. Then we dust the cupcakes with some dark cocoa powder and dig into this dream.

If this recipe sounds good so far, let's get baking!




RECIPE:


Ingredients:

  • 180g soft butter
  • 160g sugar
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 180g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 30g strong coffee (freshly brewed)
  • 250g mascarpone
  • 20g powdered sugar
  • 100g whipping cream

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tray with muffin cups
  2. Cream together the butter, sugar, and salt. Add the eggs one at a time.
  3. Mix the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and add the dry mixture to the wet.
  4. Now take about a third of the dough and put it in another bowl with the coffee and a little flour (about 30g, the idea is to get a consistency similar to the dough without the coffee). Mix well and put aside.
  5. Fill half the muffin cups with the coffee-free batter and half with the coffee-based batter. Fold the dough into a spiral to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Meanwhile, make the icing. Start by whisking the mascarpone and icing sugar together until just combined. Do not whisk too long or the mascarpone will become liquid.
  8. Whip the cream in a separate bowl until stiff. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture and fill a piping bag with the icing. 
  9. Once the muffins have been baked and cooled, you can soak them in a little coffee. The best way to do this is to take a brush and brush the surface of the muffins with the coffee.
  10. Finally, pipe the icing onto the muffins. This is where you can get creative with your design! Whether you pipe a spiral or little dots, it's up to you.
  11. Finally, dust the muffins with dark, unsweetened cocoa powder.
  12. Enjoy!

                    Do you want to learn how I create a short-form food video from start to finish?

                    I've been sharing my baking creations for more than five years on my Instagram Account @tamarasbakings . It all started with pictures but slowly, I transitioned into short-form videos, aka Reels. In the beginning, I made them very detailed and experimented with different settings in my home, various backdrops and camera angles, editing techniques, etc. but over time I created an effective way to film my Reels and now I am sharing multiple ones per month. Since I have the best followers in the world, I often get comments on how nice my editing is or how beautifully filmed my videos are. And I do pay close attention to the little details, like props and decor items, camera angles, and creating interest, so people genuinely want to watch my videos. This all being said, I think it is time to show you how I create my "bake with me"-Reels. And that is why I created a Skillshare course to teach you exactly that! In case you've never heard of Skillshare before, it is an onlin...

                    Cinnamon Rolls - perfect for fall baking

                    When I think of fall baking and the cozy season, I immediately think about cinnamon rolls, as well. There's just something so comforting about a soft, fluffy, and sweet cinnamon roll together with a cup of your fav fall drink. So today, I am sharing my favorite cinnamon recipe with you. I've always been using this exact recipe and I can confidently say that my whole family and friends love it! The yeast dough - things to keep in mind The most important thing about a good and fluffy cinnamon roll is, of course, the yeast dough- but how can you ensure it gets fluffy and perfect? First of all, I always use fresh yeast. In my opinion, this gives you the best results. In order to make sure the yeast can do its job properly, the temperature of the milk (and butter mixture) is key! If your mixture is too hot or too cold, you won't get a good yeast dough, it won't rise and your cinnamon rolls will be dry and flat. I always think of a hot bathtub when I heat my milk. Imagine you...
